Building on the foundation of the first fix, the Second Face Drywall Fix is often used in specifications requiring enhanced performance, such as greater fire resistance, acoustic insulation, or thermal efficiency.
By adding a second layer of drywall, we significantly boost the wall system’s capabilities. Our technical teams ensure the joints and seams are staggered and perfectly aligned with the first layer, eliminating weak points and providing a dense, stable surface for the final skim or jointing. This is the stage where we embed high-performance qualities into your structure.
At Starlight Drylining Ltd, we understand that the second phase of drywall fixing is where true craftsmanship shines.
This stage is all about achieving precision, smoothness, and aesthetic excellence — transforming structural drywall installations into flawlessly finished interiors ready for decoration.
Whether we’re completing high-end residential properties, office spaces, or commercial builds, our team delivers a seamless finish that meets the highest professional standards.
When your walls and ceilings need to look perfect — trust Starlight to make it happen.
The Second Phase (or Second Fix) involves refining, securing, and perfecting all previously installed drywall and framework. It’s where walls are finished, surfaces aligned, and joints prepared for plastering or taping.
This meticulous process includes:
Fixing plasterboards to prepared frameworks
Finishing and aligning edges, corners, and reveals
Adjusting cut-outs for sockets, lighting, and fixtures
Sealing joints and preparing surfaces for finishing
Every millimetre counts — and that’s why we bring a perfectionist’s approach to every project.
